What is the secret of Warren Buffett’s productivity success? The power of elimination.
Here’s the story:
They say that one day Buffett went to his pilot named Steve and jokingly said to him that “the fact that you’re still working for me tells me I’m not doing my job.” “You should be out going after more of your goals and dreams,” Buffett said.
He asked the pilot to write down the most important 25 things he wants to accomplish. Then, he had to circle his top 5 priorities from the list. What about the other 20 things on the list?
“Everything you didn’t circle just became your ‘avoid at all cost list.’ No matter what, these things get no attention from you until you’ve succeeded with your top five.” Buffet said.
Prioritization is about elimination. Buffet knows that the key to mastering productivity lies in figuring out how to do less.
So, the secret to insane productivity lies in the power of elimination.
Also, learn to say “No”. Here’s Seth Godin on saying no: “you can say no with respect, you can say no promptly, and you can say no with a lead to someone who might say yes. But just saying yes because you can’t bear the short-term pain of saying no is not going to help you do the work.”
What if you could improve employee happiness and productivity through scenting? Or as an employee, improve your own productivity and well-being at work?
Through AromaTech’s HVAC/AC capable scent diffusers, it has never been easier or more cost effective to create a pleasant work environment. Scenting office space and work environments with invigorating scents such as peppermint, sunny citrus, or crushed lime can improve recall and memory.
Did you know that studies have shown that workers who were exposed to the smell of lavender had a decrease in work-related errors, while peppermint increased speed and accuracy?
